PROTECTIVE COVER Filed July 21. 1951 Patented Sept. 27, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE NATHAN I. FLEISZEER, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO I. FLEISCHER & SONS, 'OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, A FIRM COMPOSED OF NATHAN I. FLEISCHER AND JACOB I.

FLEISCHEB {PROTECTIVE GOVER- Application filed July 21, 1931. Serial No. 552,160.

My invention relates to protective covers, for example, of the type designed to cover the upper portion of a garment as suspended 0111a hanger, particularly when on display for sa e.

The principal object of my invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive protective cover of the type mentioned, which while it protects the garment or other article from dust and soil during handling and display, does not interfere with the inspection of the article by the prospective purchaser. To this end my new protective cover is constructed of cellophane, or other similar cellulose prod not which is fully transparent, the same being Iprovided with an edging or binding whic amply protects the cellophane from tearing or ripping at the edges.

A further 0 ject of my invention is to provide for a cellophane or other similar cellulose protective cover, a binding so attached to the edges thereof that no stitching or similar means are required for securing together the binding and the main body of the protector.

A still further object ofmy invention is to provide for a cellophane or other cellulose product protector of the type mentioned, an adhesive binding so constructed as to be attachable to the edges of the protector throughout its curves and deviations from straight alignment, without the necessity of crimping, buckling or folding the binding at the curves or other turns; in other words, to provide a binding which throughout the entire attachment will rest smoothly against the body of the protective cover.

Further objects of my invention will appear from the following detailed description thereof. 7

In the drawing:

'Figure 1 is an elevation of a protective cover constructed in accordance with this invention.

1 Figure :2- is' a section on line 2-2 of Fig ure 1.

' Figure 3 is an elevation showing the construction'and attachment of the edging or binding material.

a the same being constructed of cellophane or the cellophane material are fully bound and t Figure 4 is an elevation illustrating the use of the protective cover.

The numeral 1 indicates an envelope or body portion of my new protective cover,

other cellulose product; said envelope is 0011- structed preferably of two sheets 2 and 3 of the desired material, said sheets being of substantially registering shape, the sheet 2, however, having its upper portion cut away as shownat 4 so as to provide an opening 5 at the central upper portion of the protector. The sheets 2 and 3 are assembled bymeans of an edging or binding 6 which extends from the lower side corners of the sheets upwardly around the curved conformation of the sheets securing the same together. Where the alignment of the sheets deviates at the cut away portion 4, the binding 6 follows sheet 3. A similar binding 7 is secured along the. ed e of 4 of the sheet 2, and the ends thereo are suitably merged with the binding 6. Similar'binding tapes 8 and 9 are placed around the lower edge of the sheets. Where the binding 6 at the upper central portion of the protector is applied only to the sheet 3, it covers both faces around the edge so as fully to protect the same. The bindings 7, 8 and 9 also cover both faces of the material along the edges as clearly shown in Figure 2. The bindings 6, 7, 8 and 9 are preferably constructed of tape which is cut diagonally or on a bias as clearly shown in Figure 3 of the drawing, one side of the tape being provided with an adhesive by means of which it may be secured to the body of the protector.

hesive bindings 6, 7, 8 and 9 all edges of protected against tearing, and there is, furthermore, no likelihood of the binding itself being ripped or; torn from the body, as is the case where the binding is stitched thereto.

in such cases the stitching itself providing points of rupture in the cellophane which readily increase in size and soon destroy the,

protector.

Furthermore, it will be noted that by reason of the peculiar construction of the binding material, it ma placed around the entire contour of t e protector without at any point buckling, crimping or providing other inequalities which in addition to bein unsightly prevent the proper packing an handling of the devices in quantities.

It will thus be ?een that in the device above described and il utility, as well as great simplicity and neatness in construction, and which may be adapted not only for garments as shown in the drawing and above described, but'.which by reason of its construction ma be made available for many other articles 0 merchan dise merely by giving same the proper shape and dimensions. Having thus fully described my invention,

Letters Patent is:

1. A protective cover comprising two sheets of transparent material shaped so as what I claim as new and desire to secure by to register'along their edges except at the arate adhesive tapes each overlappin upper central portion, where one of said v sheets is out lower than the other, an adhesive tape secured overv the registering side edges of said sheets to assemble same, and continuing-as a binding overlapping the two'surfaces of the higher edge at the nonregistering portions of the sheets,'a second adhesive tape overlapping the two surfaces of the lower edge at said nonregistering portions, and sell:-

t e two surfaces of the lower edge of one 0 said sheets. i Y r 2'. A protective cover comprising two sheets of transparent material shaped so as to register along their edges except. at the upper central portion, where one of said sheets is cut lower than the other, a bias cut adhesive tape secured over the registering, side edges of said sheets to assemble same,

and continuing as a binder overlapping the two surfaces of the higher edge at the nonregistering portions'of the sheets, a second adhesive tape overlapping the two surfaces 7 of the lower edge at said nonregistering portions, and separate adhesive tapes each over ping the two surfaces of the lower edgeone of said sheets.
